Year 10 Geography has two units of study.

'Environmental change and management' investigates environmental geography through an in-depth study of a specific environment. The unit begins with an overview of the environmental functions that support all life, the major challenges to their sustainability, and the environmental worldviews, including those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Students investigate a specific type of environment and environmental change in Australia and one other country. 

'Geographies of human well-being' investigates global, national, and local differences between places. This unit examines the different concepts and measures of human well-being and the causes of global differences in these measures between countries. Students explore spatial differences in well-being within and between countries and evaluate the differences from various perspectives.
